Ahh I see what your talking about. The common way to get AUX sound into the M35 stock isn't to remove that cord, but to leave it in place a run an aux cord off the TV tuner in the rear LH boot trim. It sends a signal tho the screen and the screen in turn pushes the Audio out the head unit via that wire I believe.

Doing it this way you can also display video (NTSC in potato resolutions only though).

Or just upgrade the head unit, it's usually more cost effective.

I would also run a new 12v wire to the clarion receivers in the boot roof to allow for a steady voltage feed and improved reception.

For my 1000th dumb noob question, what are the receivers you speak off? Receivers for TV or radio?

They are in the top rear passenger side of the rear roof lining. If you remove the rear roof panels you will see them (2). They amplify the signal from the glass

Well just fitted a new Sony Head unit.

Took my time , used the Iso harnesses.

All went well, tested for sound before refitting everything.

Not much room behind the head unit for cables, especially with added iso plugs and leads.

Tucked in all in gently, put it ALL back together, now one speaker doesn't work.

Great.

Could be faullty head unit, faulty nissan iso harness, faulty sony harness or a break in one wire some where.

If you tested it and everything work before you push the HU back in then maybe a wire got crunch/fell out soft of thing? Which ISO did you use?

I"m the Aerpro man here, if you suspect the iso harness screw up, give me the part # and i can check for you.

Sorry to bother you. Can you advise me of the correct Aerpro part number for adapter cable to suit the Bose stereo model please? My plan is to simply feed an MP3 player into the system initially, then remove the CD-ROM drive and install a 'proper' car stereo. Mine is a 2001 M35 Stagea, BTW. I don't feel like spending a fortune ($500.00+?) replacing the whole centre section, just so I can fit a double DIN unit.

Sorry but i'm not 100% clear on what you're after.

You after ISO harness or T-harness?

If you want something like an RCA in so you can feed your MP3 player into the Unit, first of all, your unit needs to have an AUX button, then you can start from there.

I don't have a Bose HU in my stagea so i don't really know what they look like and what the rear plug looks like either.

Since I have not pulled the stereo out yet, I don't know what I require. Sorry to be so vague. I am comfortable with electronics, so I can make pretty much anything work with anything, but I figured the Aerpro cable might make my life easier. See, I plan to do the whole job in a day (or two), so I wanted to have any adapters to hand before I start. I really don't want to strip the dash out, work out what is needed, reassemble, order the parts, then strip it all down again. Make sense? There is no AUX input on my Stagea stereo, though I was told it is a Bose system.  I have enclosed a photo of my Stagea stereo and the DVD ROM can be seen to the left of the photo. My plans are as follows (subject to change and not necessarily in this order):

* Rip out the stereo and the DVD-ROM drive. 

* Install a cheap radio/CD/MP3 player where the DVD-ROM drive is. 

* Locate the line level section of the cassette deck, break the line and terminate in a 3.5mm socket, so an i-phone/MP3 player can be plugged in.

* Integrate the radio/CD/MP3 player into the system.

* Install a new SATNAV/reversing camera somewhere.

 

BTW: I know what an ISO harness is, but not a "T-harness'.

 

Thanks for your advice and assistance. I am pretty new to Stagea ownership (2 weeks).

Brain fart

I see

Sounds like you just need a Nissan Bose to ISO, ISO to your HU brand, any Autobarn or SCA can help, i believe the boys here said nissan patrol iso harness will suit.

Not sure if Bose is any difference, you have built in Sub & Amp, if so then you might also need a low or high level converter.

I'm new to the Stagea myself, yet to pull the HU out to check as i'm going to set up GPS/Reverse cam but i'm lucky enough the car already comes with a Double Din Slot.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
